New Life Series by Samantha Jacobey Blog Tour

The New Life Series chronicles the life of a young woman who
is raised by a group of men who work as freelance mercenaries in the dark world
of drug trafficking and murder for hire. They acquired the young woman at a
very young age, as she has no memory of life before them.

WARNING: This series is intended for
readers 18+ and contains scenes that may cause distress to some readers:
Domestic Abuse, Kidnapping, Rape and Substance Abuse are described in detail.

Avenged

To what lengths would you go to protect the people you care about most?

Tori Farrell has lived an incredible life. Raised by a Motorcycle Gang, trained
to be an assassin, and a target of the FBI, having a normal life became an
obsession. Taking her place in her brother’s band, she refused to let her dark
and dangerous past force her to remain in hiding. The only problem with that
was, some knew who she was in her former life.

The halfway house burned to the ground and her friends in imminent danger, it
is time for Tori to take a stand. Surrounding herself with the strongest and
darkest men that she can trust, she sets out on the greatest adventure of her
life: to bring The Organization to their knees. Will they make it through the
maze of lies and deceit? Will the FBI turn out to be friend or foe? And most
importantly, will they all survive, as Tori makes her push to be avenged…

Shelby – ☆☆☆☆
The 7th book in the New Life series completely smashed my expectations!

All the questions I've had, including: What part does the FBI play in Tori's life? What exactly is the Organization? Who is Eli (really? What's the importance of Brett & Enrique? All of these questions are FINALLY answered (thankfully).
The turmoil in Tori's life was the main focus for the past 6 books, we watched her grow and mature. More importantly though she found "herself," she found love, she found family, and she found her true inner-strength. I loved watching her "come into her own" as it wasn't far-fetched, it was relatively believable.
This book was more focused on bringing closure to her "past" life – and what an adventure it was!!!
Tori returned to the ass-kicking heroine, whom I've grown to love, this time with a TEAM on her side.

After all is said and done, Tori still has to choose which life she wants to lead. Will she chose the quiet life with Michael? The rocker life with Brian/Danny? Or....???

I'm sad to say goodbye to this series, but it was one hell of a ride!

Mary – ☆☆☆☆
Tori and the guys are going after the Organization. Will they be able to take them down before anyone gets hurt? With Eli and Mason, the FBI agents, they begin sorting pages of the files gotten from Godfry's office. With a plan of attack and everyone ready, they will begin in Denver, then L.A., Miami and finish up in New York. Will Michael let Enrique spend time with her or will he speak up? And what is keeping her sick? But when she comes up missing, can Michael and Enrique find her before it is too late? This series is great and will take you on one girl’s dark journey and it will break your heart. You will learn more about Tori with each addition to this series. If you are looking for a dark, disturbing and sometimes suspenseful story then enjoy this one. I loved it.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
After six tumultuous reads I was almost reluctant to read this final book. After all, whilst things are still unresolved I could use my imagination – and make sure it turns out well! But I needn't have worried – Ms. Jacobey has done an amazing job – even if she tortured me a little (a lot) along the way!

There have been so many twists and turns that I really had given up deciding who I thought was good or bad – but luckily Tori steered the story, and even if at times I wanted back the happier version of her, I held my faith. I don't want to say more for fear of revealing even the tiniest detail that will affect your enjoyment of the story.

This is an amazing series, about an incredible character, who just proves that strength comes from within. And Tori has a huge capacity for strength in every sense of the word. It also hints at an underworld that we naïvely live in all ignorance of – for which I am actually rather grateful!
